RE: out of date branches

Subversion doesn’t allow you to commit changes to out of date files and with Subversion 1.6 you would get a tree conflict on updating the replaced file. This tree conflict would explain that there were changes to the file that you replaced.

Subject: out of date branches

Hi all,

I would like to know if there are any recommendations as to enforce a team to always branch from the latest revision of a branch. There's a big risk that a developer might have forgotten to update a branch, then does a replace (in TortoiseSVN) which overwrites a more recent version of a file.

How can this be prevented? Via hook-scripts, settings in TortoiseSVN. I prefer doing SVN copy via right-click drag-n-drop in TortoiseSVN than doing a cryptic Merge. I want to set a good process to ensure that a team never overwrites new stuff....

Thanks

Jan
